(dedicated to Ms. Lynda Robson, a poet friend at poemhunter)
by my love-longing for you only
is your heart not softened?
I am a wild tiger
a hunted one
longing like downward swoop of an eagle
for angels and mermaids make your love
the mouth of Summer dew is a rosebud
like the advance of flames in sunlight
like sweetness of honey plunged into our soul
am I truly considered as your darling angel?
I have found my future in your bed of roses
nevertheless you run to seek your destiny
Ahmad Shiddiqi
